Annotation:

Now in its third edition, this historically organized introductory text presents the development of philosophy as an ongoing conversation about humankind's deepest and most persistent concerns. With the conviction that philosophy is interactive. The Great Conversation traces the exchange of ideas between history's key philosophers, demonstrating that while constructing an argument or making a claim, one philosopher almost always has others in mind.
